http://researchsafety.org/2018/02/17/securus-technologies-keeps-costs-low-prevents-crime/#respondSat, 17 Feb 2018 09:28:21 +0000http://researchsafety.org/?p=133Most criminologists agree that the best way to keep inmates from committing crimes while in prison is through keeping them occupied and giving them a sense of hope. Although this can be challenging to provide for inmates serving long terms of incarceration, studies have shown that keeping inmates occupied with positive ways to use their time, including the ability to communicate with those on the outside of prison, can dramatically reduces levels of behavioral infractions as well as recidivism once inmates are released.

Securus Technologies is one of the top providers of inmate communications technologies in the country. Over the course of the last decade, it has been rolling out its video visitation system. The system has enabled prisoners throughout the country to stay in nearly constant touch with their loved ones and friends on the outside, giving them a way to maintain socialization with law-abiding, pro-social citizens.

This is a critical element in maintaining a sense of hope and purpose in the inmate population. Without the ability to communicate and socialize with law-abiding citizens, inmates often fall into the prison milieu, searching out social belonging with the only peer group they can find, namely, other prisoners. This is one of the key factors in what is known within sociology as institutionalization. This term describes the gradual dependence that forms within the prisoner on the carceral environment. Prisoners who become institutionalized often find it difficult or impossible to reintegrate into society, having come to rely on the antisocial peer group provided by other prisoners as well as the structure of institutional life.

With its video visitation technology, Securus is providing a crucial means for these prisoners to maintain positive relationships with those on the outside, reducing the incidence of prisoners that become completely socialized to the criminal milieu.

http://researchsafety.org/2018/02/14/larkin-and-lacey-journalism-with-an-edge/#respondWed, 14 Feb 2018 15:19:18 +0000http://researchsafety.org/?p=131Jim Larkin and Michael Lacey represent courageous journalism at its best. Investigative news journalists have always been the target of corrupt people. Threats and intimidation are common problems encountered. It takes conviction of one’s beliefs to keep up the spirit of honest reporting, in the face of such challenges. Jim Larkin and Michael Lacey have staunchly stuck to their scruples and called out corruption in the form of former sheriff Joe Arpaio’s pardon by president Donald Trump.

Joe Arpaio is the former sheriff of Maricopa region. He was well-known for his sadist approach to inmates during his time as jailor. He used torture, brutality as his methods for dealing with prisoners and indulged in acts against humanity as well. He created a tented area to house prisoners where the faced extreme heat conditions. Inmates were often denied necessary medical care and amenities.

Joe Arpaio was also biased against immigrants and racial minorities and often expressed his prejudice towards them. His cultivated approach of toughness and barbarity was brought to light several times by New Times reports.

The arrest was withdrawn. However, Larkin and Lacey counter-filed a case against Joe Arpaio. They later won the case and were given over 3. million dollars as compensation. They used this award money for the aid of the Hispanic population. This was done through the initiation of the Frontera Fund. These Hispanic sections had been unjustly targeted by Joe Arpaio and were victims of discrimination.

Lacey and Larkin have a long career in news publishing, spanning several decades. Michael Lacey entered the world of journalism in Arizona through his first publication called Arizona Times, which was rechristened as New Times soon after. The New Times was published once every week, starting in 1970. Jim Larkin from Phoenix joined Lacey’s team. Larkin’s entry helped New Times grow in numbers.

New Times continued to remain afloat even as other similar publications ceased to exist. New Times became a significant player in the world of journalism when they published a controversial piece on the alleged killing of a fellow journalist, Don Bolles.

This news account catapulted New Times into a large scale publication with a renewed readership. The New Times not only publishes facts, but it also promotes art, music, food, and culture by giving these ample space on its pages.

The Phoenix New Times has now expanded into a widely read paper with several subsidiary periodicals, which include the LA Weekly and the Village Voice. The journalists of Larkin and Lacey owned publications have been the recipients of several awards over the years.

These include the Investigative Reporters and Editors, Pulitzer Prize, the Sigma Delta Chi Awards, the Livingstone Awards for Young Journalists, Journalist of the Year, and the James Beard Foundation Journalism Awards.

http://researchsafety.org/2018/01/23/end-citizens-united-plans-to-make-a-difference-in-2018-midterms/#respondTue, 23 Jan 2018 10:56:20 +0000http://researchsafety.org/?p=125Midterm elections are notoriously hard to get people interested in. However, midterm elections are some of the most important elections in the country. This is particularly true as 2018 gets going after a disastrous first year from the Trump administration. The 2018 Midterms have the potential to completely change the political landscape for the next two years, at least. End Citizens United is a political action committee that has committed themselves to getting out and advocating for voters to make their voices heard. End Citizens United was founded on the idea of getting rid of the 2010 Supreme Court ruling surrounding Citizens United — a right-wing propaganda group led by lawyer James Bopp. End Citizens United sees a chance to make serious headway in 2018, and here is how they are going to do it, and what End Citizens United knows.

The 2018 Midterms will likely make or break the entire Trump presidency, though some would argue that it has already been pretty broken as it is. With that being said, things could undergo dramatic change if progressives manage to retake the House and don’t think for a moment that conservatives don’t understand this. End Citizens United is going to spend the next year helping to funnel voters to where they need to go in order to help champion politicians who are willing to fight back for the average American voter. End Citizens United will be directing much of their focus on four vulnerable seats in California. These four seats belong to Dana Rohrabacher, who was alleged to be ‘bought by Putin’ according to Paul Ryan, Darrell Issa and Duncan Hunter, who both are under fire for misusing campaign funds, and Mimi Walters.

End Citizens United was created in 2015 as a response to the disastrous Citizens United ruling that we’ve spent so much time discussing. The Citizens United ruling fundamentally opened the floodgates to an influx of dark money, special interests, and corporate donors. With this happening, the American government ended up completely hijacked by people with the biggest checks to write. As a result, American voters are increasingly getting ignored by their elected representatives. 2018 shows the first real chance that American voters have to make a difference and start to take back some control of their political voice.

Tiffany Muller is the president of End Citizens United and she has been both vocal and energized in her pursuit for change in Washington D.C. Muller points to California as a real opportunity and she let reporters know that via a conference call. Muller said, “California represents some of the best opportunities, and some of the most egregious examples that we have seen.” Muller is, of course, talking about examples revolving around special interests buying off politicians in the government, and more information click here.

http://researchsafety.org/2018/01/22/malcolm-casselleand-the-new-age-of-online-transactions/#respondMon, 22 Jan 2018 11:19:16 +0000http://researchsafety.org/?p=122Ever imagined how online transactions involving virtual assets gets done? Or ever wondered how safe are the assets being used? Well here is a simple explanation based on a decentralized by Worldwide Asset eXchange platform that is headed by Malcolm CasSelle. This platform allows gamers from every corner of the globe to operate on their own on the virtual marketplace without zero security investment or incurring any fee for processing their purchase.

WAX which is the acronym of Worldwide Asset eXchange can facilitate such a transaction WAX Tokens which in essence allow the transfer of virtual goods. WAX tokens are utility tokens which get possessed as virtual currency or assets which now can be used to facilitate each transaction made, and what Malcolm CasSelle knows.

The platform used by WAX is a decentralized system that is an upgrade version of what was originally get used by OPSkins which was a centralized platform. The upgrade was done by the original people that created OPSkins. In its update, they used the same foundation blockchain and added new smart contracts that change the platform from a centralized one into a decentralized system, and http://casselle.com/.

OPSkins gets recognized the world over as the leading platform that facilitates in-game asset transfers virtually. Furthermore, it is reputed as biggest bitcoin merchant across all continents as it expedites cross-border transaction of all micro-payments.

The launching of the new and improved blockchains that facilitates the decentralized system by WAX came as a necessary platform that dispelled all challenges that were being experienced by OPSkins. The predicaments that plagued OPSkins involved fraud through hacking which played a significant role in discrediting the safeness of virtual currency while the other big challenge was fragmentation. Thus WAX made it the safest mode of transacting online as transactions are done individually without the need of storing the assets at one place which susceptible to hacking.

At the mid of all these significant innovations is Malcolm CasSelle who is the president of WAX and OPSkins CIO. Malcolm prides himself as an investor and entrepreneur.

As a career man, he has worked in many companies and held various leadership posts that propelled him to where he is at the helm of both OPSkins and WAX. CasSelle has attended MIT and has a master’s degree in Computer Science, and more information click here.

Betsy DeVos was a prominent member of the Michigan Republican Party before she was selected by President Donald Trump to serve as the Secretary of Education for the United States of America. Donald Trump campaigned on bringing outsiders into Washington D.C. and the selection of Betsy DeVos as Secretary fo Education was outside-of-the-box thinking that could pay huge dividends for conservative values and the role of school choice in America. Most people are unaware of who Betsy DeVos is and who she was before she came to Washington D.C., so let’s take a moment to look back at her past.

Betsy DeVos was born and raised in a small town in Michigan. She would grow up amid traditional conservative values, armed with the idea of school choice in her life. DeVos would eventually go on to attend Calvin College where she would meet her future husband, Dick DeVos, while also sharpening her mind for politics. DeVos grew a reputation early on as an acerbic speaker who could be equal parts polite and cutthroat. People have always had a tendency to underrate Betsy DeVos and now Mrs. DeVos is using that same reputation to her advantage in Washington D.C. as something of a political bulldog who fights for each thing that she cares deeply for. Learn more: http://enablediversity.com/2017/08/11/dick-devos-reveals-the-staggering-amounts-of-money-he-donated-to-charity/

No matter what you discuss surrounding Betsy DeVos, eventually the conversation will drift back to the role of education and the government. Betsy DeVos is a reformer and she is a devout believer int he writings of Milton Friedman, who penned ‘The Role of Government in Education‘. This essay essentially made the argument that the government should keep its hands off of education, thus allowing families to decide whether public schooling or privatized schooling was the right choice for their children. DeVos got involved with Friedman’s work long before it was an acceptable stance for conservative Americans to take and, in truth, DeVos is a big reason why it has become so mainstream. DeVos says, “Today there are about 250,000 students in 33 publicly funded, private-choice programs in 17 states and the District of Columbia.”

With Betsy DeVos the role of government and education will be a defining aspect of her time spent in Washington D.C. Fans of school choice will have a lot to root for over the next four years.

In reality, Roberto Santiago was foreseeing the popularity of shopping malls in Brazil since he founded his venture. He continuously expanded his venture, added new entertainment options, improved infrastructure, and more to go ahead of the times.

This is the reason, Manaira Shopping received a steady increase of visitors since its inauguration. In 2015, the mall welcomed almost 20 million visitors wholeheartedly and offered a comprehensive shopping and fun experience. Manaira Shopping has everything, including most modern cinema halls, air-conditioned and technology-enabled concert hall, Game Station with numerous games, world-class fitness center, play area for children, and more.

For instance, the interaction involving education, culture, and business also improved.

Said Javid who was the British secretary for business, innovations, and skills announced at an event held in London that the trade between the two countries had reached a golden era.

He advised administration of the various universities and colleges not to subject students to victimization or into intimidation based on the opinion they had about Israeli. This was necessitated by an action that had been taken by the student’s body in the U.K to boycott Israelis for what they termed as violation of peace agreement in the Middle East.

In a show of courage, Daniel Taub defied this declaration and visited the areas. The areas M.P was alleging that Israeli had violated human rights in the Middle East region. Daniel Taub visited the area under very tight security.
